How do you sleep with chronic pain? I’m a diabetic with neuropathy, i also have chronic daily migraines, fibromyalgia and trigeminal neuralgia that all severely affect my sleep. ---

It’s hard 💜 Ashwagandha can help. I also use CBD. I’m thinking of starting Low Dose Naltrexone but I’ve heard one of the side effects is vivid dreams. I don’t need any more of that 😂🥴 I have fibromyalgia and hypermobile joint disorder. ---

It’s so lovely to see you here in our little community @RuthlessAngel1 and welcome @Boxeye as well … I’m going to add our lovely i house medical herbalist to see if she has come across anything that she has seen in her experience be helpful for some … but the target states that we are working on here primarily enhance sleep and improve calm … the plants we have picked primarily hit those two targets … Ashwa is known as a tonic and I do take it at lower dose throughout the day sometimes and I think it has a sort of relaxing effect for me … but in either case can’t want to see what discoveries sofi will help with in your journey to feeling better … welcome on board 🙏 ---
